Poça da Dona Beija

All travellers who visit Caldeiras, near the village of Furnas, should take some time off from their holidays to enjoy the wonderful thermal pools that Poça da Dona Beija has to offer.

This thermal zone, generally known as "Poço do Beijo", is composed of five bathing areas all supplied by a source of hot water with therapeutic properties, heated by the Furnas volcano.

Poço da Dona Beija is well equipped with facilities such as showers and changing rooms, and it is also possible to rent or buy towels during your visit. The hot water has enough sulphur, so it is advisable to wash the bathing suits completely, since the sulphur could stain the material.

These thermal pools are located further away from the centre, as such is not as crowded as other hot springs in São Miguel, which provides a calmer experience. If what you are looking for is just a quick swim or a full day dedicated to relaxation, Poça Da Dona Beija is the ideal place for you.
